Re: Bush DAC90 FM conversion.
If you are going to mess with a radio like this, then why not go the whole hog and fit a transistor module that does FM and bluetooth and has its own power amp. You could make it portable then and no worry about excess heat.

Re: Bush DAC90 FM conversion.
Hence the DAB90a link referred to earlier!
But, the easiest way to receive FM on a DAC90 is have an external FM tuner and feed a pantry transmitter. That's what I do - it covers the house well, and just extends to the garden. If you want to be able to tune it, of course you need a tuner and pantry transmitter for each station. But, not expensive to set up... |

Re: Bush DAC90 FM conversion.
Like my all-dry battery battery receiver a scrap DAC90 chassis will be used for the FM receiver. Just a fun project to get back to building radios again.
As for a cabinet to house the chassis there seems to be on sale cabinets in varies states of condition, some immaculate and others with cracks but repairable. DFWB. |

Re: Bush DAC90 FM conversion.
Doing a FM conversion with transistor or a pantry transmitter is too easy got to have valves & adapter plates
